View Full Version : Great Idea - User Defined Who's Online Refresh value...

If you dont get me, just read below...

How about if a User could select how often they wanted Who's Online to refresh?

Not like a textbox or anything, else they could enter "1" as a second value...

A dropbox, with Admin defined values, and the ability to turn this function on/off via the Admin Options in favour of the Admin defined variable...

I have it set to every 20 seconds, but some users find this too frequent...

I.e.

The user has an option in their "Edit options" screen, which says:

Who's Online Refresh value (in seconds):
How often do you want Who's Online to refresh?

Dropbox:
20 seconds
30 seconds
60 seconds
120 seconds

Something like that...Doable?

Why do you need this? I mean there is the refresh button already there, and to be honest with you do many people spend more than about 15 seconds on the WOL page?

i dont really see its use, just a nice fluffy extra :D

It is useful...

Especially for people on 56k modems like myself...

It helps to keep the Internet connection alive;)
